bob was definitely the man....i used to enjoy his movies (that he used to joke about never winning an oscar for)...i always thought he was very funny eventhough i was just a lil [censored] watching black n white movies...
they showed his episode of 'i love lucy' where he let lucy be in a show with him and ricky....funny funny episode...i wondered why they picked the cleveland indians and made a joke about the yanks during a couple scenes....i found out later on sports radio that he was part owner at one time of the indians and l.a. rams
he loved golf...the line i heard today from him 'i do comedy to pay my greens fee'

and in his later yrs he had some great phone appearances on howard stern a few yrs ago
pretty soon there wont be any celeb over 80-90 alive it seems
